Why not do it the debian way: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/336 Just follow the instructions there (you can even put yourself in as maintainer) and you end up with a debian package in the parent directory of the flac source tree (I was looking for it inside the source tree...silly). Then issue a dpkg -i flac_x.y.z.deb and you have a new flac inside your debian system without breaking anything: lembeke:/home/koen# apt-cache policy flac flac: Installed: 1.1.4 Candidate: 1.1.4 Version table: *** 1.1.4 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.1.2-6 0 500 http://download.mirror.ac.uk etch/main Packages 50 http://mirror.ox.ac.uk sid/main Packages and it won't be updated until debian releases a newer flac package Koen. -- koen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ koen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2417 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34794 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
